    i'd test my theory that £1500 in 1p coins would fill 24 skips.

    its a rough guess, but i reckon its right

    I'd buy a big house with lots of land and build a rescue centre for GSD's ( other animals in any shape or form would be welcome ) the pre-school i work in needs a bigger outside play area so i'd sort that out and fill it with lots of play equipment.

    Cars - i'd have a big 4x4, i Really like Jon's sisters Toyota Hilux Serf so something like that would be cool, i'd also have a Focus RS as an everyday car , i'd build Jon and the kids a racetrack, Jon would have all his toys to play with ( Mk1 Escort RS1600, Mk2 Harrier, his Defender, and whatever else he wants ) and the kids would have various vehicles to play with

    If you had a billion pounds you'd buy a PC? Yeah, you have really got your head around the sheer wealth 1 billion pounds would give you...

    EDIT - Sorry, just realised it would be a 'cool' PC, therefore, maybe you have.



    I'd buy a racoon.

    You could easily buy Tony Blair for a lot less than that... The total of donations to the Labour Party runs at around £15,000,000, slightly more in an election year.

    George Bush is slightly more expensive, at aroung $900,000,000 in an election year, but thats still well within budget.

    Taxidermy for a mammal that size would likely be very expensive, possibly £10,000.
